Lake Winnipeg is less than an hour away from city limits, and I think there are around 10,000 lakes within a 2 hour drive. Everybody I know in Winnipeg either owns a cabin, or has one at their disposal.
Winnipeg is prairie, but once again within an hour drive you are getting into forest as you head east towards Ontario. I'm sure a google search for West Hawk Lake or Falcon Lake will show you what I'm talking about.
You will miss the mountains though. I remember thinking my ex was a freak for saying that when she moved to Winnipeg, but then when I went back to go to school I found myself saying the same thing.
